Chelsea have decided that they want to continue with Robert Sanchez as their first choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season.
Reasons for choosing Sanchez
Robert Sanchez prefers to maintain ball possession for his team and Enzo Maresca loves this ability. This thing certainly helps a team to play from the back. We have seen Chelsea love to play with short passes by keeping ball possession.
For this type of football strategy, Robert Sanchez will be the perfect triggering point because he doesn’t like to clear at emergency situations. Any attacking transition will begin from his feet.
Although it is a risky strategy but it is certainly a effective one. We have seen how former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi exploited this tactics against big teams like Manchester City.
This tactics can release opponent press and can immediately punish them through an attacking transition. After several training sessions, Enzo Maresca has found that Robert Sanchez will suit his playing style.
Behind the scene
This is not the end of the story. According to Chelsea News, it is being said that Robert Sanchez must show effective performance in the pre-season matches, or else Chelsea will look for another goalkeeper in the transfer market.
At this moment, everything depends on how Robert Sanchez performs in the USA pre-season tour. There is a massive competition for this position because Dorde Petrovic is also there in the pecking order. Last season, he had a good overall performance. On top of that, Gabriel Slonina is also returning from loan spell in a Belgian club called KAS Eupen.
Chelsea fans are excited
The Blues need some masterclass strategies that are inspired by Pep Guardiola. Everyone is expecting that Enzo Maresca will bring in some of the tactics that he inherited from Pep Guardiola. On top of that, he may mix his own Italian strategies. Overall, he is a good manager and the players know it. The new signings are also praising the former Leicester City coach.
Enzo Maresca has worked under some of the legendary managers which include Pep Guardiola, Manuel Pelegrini, Lippi, Vincenzo Montella, and many more. During his entire managerial career, he worked at clubs like Manchester City, Leicester City, Sevilla, West Ham United, Parma.
The entire football community have seen how Enzo Maresca guided Leicester City towards Premier League promotion. But the level of Championship and Premier League is not the same. There is a huge difference between the two leagues. We are hoping that his tactics will effectively work at the Stamford Bridge.
All the fans are expecting that Chelsea will finish in the top four position.
